It is often said that music is a universal language. Kent Olive brings a style to his music that is full of surprizes, and offers up certain mystery that lends itself to the universality of all listeners. Listeners will find themselves launched into musical vistas that will evoke many different emotions. It is possible to hear the intricate simplicity of his music translate into a beautiful and peaceful moment. Kent's strengths lie within the instrumental ballad, which provide a window into his awareness and sensitivity. Kent adds arresting contrasts to every piece he plays with superior compositional skills. Listeners will marvel at the display of beautiful melodies and fluid harmonic contrasts. His beautiful interpretation of harmony and dynamics becomes crystal clear in his title work Bread for the Journey. Kent gets much of his inspiration from his classical upbringing, and his 15 year tenure as a jazz improvisational player. His transistion between classical and jazz is remarkably seamless and powerful in all of his pieces, especially in May Awakening. The two forces have been joined to blend into one immensley gorgeous mosaic. Every characteristic of his music breathes easily. Take Egyptian Garden for example. The way he moves through the most interesting of chord changes is indicative of the musical consciousness that he is most willing to share. His musical skills seem fixed on reaching into our souls and uncovering the music we all keep locked within ourselves. You will undoubtedly be moved by this superb music. all songs © 1999-2008 Kent Olive
